CANDY CONTAINER.

Application filed June 5,

This invention relates to an improved construction of canoe-shaped collapsible carton, and more particularly to a carton which, when assembled in folded position, will be adapted to receive pieces of candy or other articles.

An object of the invention is to provide a a canoe-shaped collapsible carton which will take up a minimum of space when collapsed and, when folded, will be thoroughly reinforced, particularly at its opposite ends, and will be adapted to hold a quantity of candy or edible goods.

A further object of the invention is to provide a blank form for a collapsible carton which will be provided with a central bottom portion and adjoining interconnected side and end portions which, when folded, will assume the shape of a canoe, and will be adapted to contain any desired goods for display and sale.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a foldable carton blank which, when collapsed, will be flat, and, when folded, will be in the shape of a canoe, thereby drawing attention to the carton in which will be placed for sale suitable candy or other articles.

Other objects will appear as the description proceeds.

In the accompanying drawings which form a part of my application:

Fig. 1 is a perspective View of my 1mproved canoe-shaped carton in assembled formation.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the carton.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the carton taken on line 33 of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the carton blank in collapsed form.

Like characters of reference are used throughout the following specification and the accompanying drawings to designate corresponding parts.

My improved canoe-shaped collapsible carton will be formed from a flat blank, which will comprise a .bottom or central portion 1, which is provided at its opposite ends with pointed extensions 2. Triangular-shaped flaps 3 are attached at the sides of the pointed extensions 2 and are adapted to be folded at right angles thereto.

By referring to Fig. 4 of the drawings, it

the same dimensions.

The side wall or tab 4 is provided with .the locking slots 6 adjacent the opposite 1,,282 UNITED STATES PATENT ends thereof, which have their adjacent side walls slightly rounded, as clearly illustrated, to provide for the ready insertion of the cooperating locking portion of the blank. The tab 4 is connected to the central portion 1 in such a manner that it be bent at right angles thereto, while the tabs 5 connected at opposite ends to the tab 4 are also creased for being bent in the desired manner.

The side wall or tab 7 is attached to the opposite side of the central portion 1 and is adapted to be bent at right angles on-the connecting line. 'This tab 7 is rectangular in shape and is of the. same length as the tab 4 and is provided with two interconnected aligned tabs 8, which are of the same shape as the tabs 5 and are creased so as to be readily foldable- The locking tabs 9 are formed atthe free ends of the outermost tabs 8 and are foldable at their adjoining points, and are provided on their inner longitudinal walls with the locking notches 10 which, when the carton is in folded position, are adapted to cooperate with the locking slots 6 to hold the carton in folded position.

From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that the carton will be pointed at its opposite ends when in folded position may readily and will be reinforced at its ends by the tabs a highly efficient collapsible carton which may be shipped in blank or knockdown form and which may be readily set up or folded when desired.

Many minor changes in detail of construe tion may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letupon each side of the pointed ends thereof,

an elongated portion foldahly attached to one side of said central portion, a plurality of flaps extending serially from each end of the elongated portion, the last flap on each end having inwardly extending notches therein, a second elongated portion attached to the other side of said central portion having a plurality of joinedand alignedflaps connected to each end thereof, inwardly extending notches arranged adjacent each end of the second elongated portion; whereby,

When the elements set forth are folded and interlocked, they form a receptacle of substantial canoe shape. I I

In testimony whereof I afiix mysignature.
